"Tribute to Old Phantom Phighters"

There's just something about the F-4 Phantom and there's not long to catch them around Europe. Turkish Air Force F4 sporting a brand new special tail giving this beauty a delightful colourful appearance, balanced nicely by the WSO donning the Turkish Flag and also new nose art.
